World's largest mobile manufacturing factory to be launched in Noida today

Samsung’s biggest mobile factory in the world is coming up today in Noida. Indian PM Narendra Modi will be attending the opening as well as South Korean President, Moon Jae-in.

The 35-acre Samsung Electronics facility is located at Sector 81 in Noida, Uttar Pradesh. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and South Korean President Moon Jae-in will be landing together at a temporarily built helipad adjacent to the factory to officially inaugurate it on Monday. One of the first electronics manufacturing facilities set up in the country in the early 1990s, the plant was started to manufacture TVs in 1997. The current mobile phone manufacturing unit was added in 2005.

Not just mobiles, the current facility will double Samsung's production capacity of consumer electronics like refrigerators and flat panel televisions, further consolidating the company's leadership in these segments.

The tag of housing the world’s largest mobile factory has straight away put Noida on top of the world manufacturing map when it comes to consumer electronics, leaving behind China, South Korea and even the US behind.
